Ultimate Outer Space Activities for Kids

I am by all means not a space expert but so many of you have requests space activities and printables so I did some research and put together this Ultimate Outer Space Activities for Kids. The printable collection has things for all ages, from pre-school to career planning with of course the following–coloring, word search, recipe and craft ideas.

Crafty Space Activities for Kids

Excavating Asteroids

I LOVE this space activity from MindWare Toys. You can order these to use for party favors, goody bag treats, potty prizes or just for fun. Every one of them has a little space toy in the middle after taking time to excavate it from the “asteroid”.

Start with a work space for each kiddo.

Put the asteroids in water. They bubble which is super fun.

Excavate to find the treasures.

DIY Two-Ingredient Moon Sand

Moon Sand is a great sensory activity. There is a recipe card in the printable that you could use with little kids to follow along and make it. It only requires two ingredients–flour and baby oil. The little toys from the MindWare asteroids are perfect for creating space fun.

I love the end of year certificates. We have been looking for ideas on how to celebrate graduation from first grade this year since she is in homeschool (bleh!), this gives me a great idea to do our own ceremony.

The 25 Ways to Play at Home free printable is my favorite from your free printable library. I also liked the Free Covid-19 Time Capsule Collection. In particular, I thought the sheet that had kids write about what they’re feeling and what they miss most was a great idea.
